yours sins and heals all your diseases, who
redeems your life from the pit and crowns you
with love and compassion,

that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. The

3. Psalm 103:8-10
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to
anger, abounding in love. He will not always

does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us
according to our iniquities.

removed our transgressions from us.

5. Psalm 103:13-14

the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
for he knows how we are formed, he remembers
that we are dust.

like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it
and it is gone, and its place remembers it no
more.

7. Psalm 103:17-19
But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s
love is with those who fear him, and his
righteousness with their children’s children—

remember to obey his precepts. The Lord has
established his throne in heaven, and his
kingdom rules over all.

Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones
who do his bidding, who obey his word. Praise
the Lord, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants

everywhere in his dominion. Praise the Lord, O
my soul.

9. To grow in loving God with our
heart and soul cannot be
separated from WORSHIP.
The scripture never prescribes
for us one FORM of worship
God is more concerned with
the WORSHIPPER as to the
style of worship.
Today want to center on the place of PRAISE as part of
our worship.

10. Praise is first and foremost for WHO God is.
We praise His HOLY NAME.
Praise is our affectionate RESPONSE to God’s revelation of
Himself.
Praise REFOCUSES our hearts.

11. David transitions from praise His holy name, to forget not
all of His BENEFITS.
When we don’t pause to give God thanks we slip into
taking God for GRANTED.
Worship is not only praise for who God is
but an expression of THANKS for what
God has done.

12. My hope is BASED not in things or people, but God
Himself.
Worship and praise is a
declaration that my HOPE is in
Him.
